Reviews with content warning for Fire/Fire injury - Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone

The mystery got a bit too convoluted in the end to be really enjoyable, but I did enjoy the humor and narrator throughout. My big sticking point before the big reveals was partially because of that perspective- in a book that repeatedly tells you you're being told the truth, I couldn't suspend disbelief for

his hand. A broken wrist would be one thing- he degloved (and crushed) his fucking hand, didn't get proper treatment for what, 48 hours? Him running around in snowmobiles and researching and generally moving as if he was just a bit sore was just too much to be believed, besides the fact that his hand was glued to and then ripped out of an oven mitt- how is this man not in septic shock? I just don't see the point in such a gruesome injury if it gets played back almost immediately.

This also feels like it was written by someone who hasn't interacted much with kids because the ages are very off for a critical scene.

If the youngest was five, they were all well old enough to unlock and open the car doors. I'm forgetting exact ages, but Michael had to be 8/9 at least, right?

We also just skimmed over the total

lack of police too easily- if Lucy posted on instagram and Juliette and Ern were able to research the Black Tongue from the resort, someone was able to call 911 when there was no one but the useless Crawford days in. At least point out that it seems weird!

Rant done! It was fun enough!

Delightfully funny mystery. I only semi-guessed the biggest twist and missed many others, and sign of a fun mystery read in my book.

A great old-school mystery in the vein of Agatha Christie. Definitely a fun read. The first 3/4 is a bit slow as you're getting up to speed on all the characters, but the last quarter is really breakneck
